Lyrics & Translation
English
Girl before the mirror
Appraises her disguise
Child become a mother
Tries to fix her eyes
No more of his excuses
It has to be today
She can keep her fantasy
If she can get away
Paint her name on a one-way street
Painted cheeks with angry heat
Wounded pride on painted eyes
Paint the night with battle cries
All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the beautiful and the wise
The mirror always lies
The mirror always lies
Boy before the mirror
Checks his camouflage
Polishes his armor
And the charger in the garage
No more lame excuses
It has to be tonight
He can take the princess
If he can take the fight
Pound the drums with martial beat
Pound the streets with marching feet
Wounded pride, distorted eyes
Paint the night with battle cries
All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the powerful and the wise
The mirror always lies
The mirror always lies
Boys and girls together
Mistake conceit for pride
Ambition for illusion
Dreams for self-delusion
Girls and boys together
See what it is we lack
Boys and girls together
Let's paint the mirror black
Paint it black
All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the beautiful and the wise
The mirror always lies
The mirror always lies
The mirror always lies
Boys and girls together
Paint the mirror black
(The mirror always lies)
Girls and boys together
Paint the mirror black
(The mirror always lies)
Boys and girls together
Paint the mirror black
(The mirror always lies)
Girls and boys together
Paint the mirror black
(The mirror always lies)

War Paint (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Chica ante el espejo
Evalúa su disfraz
Niña hecha madre
Intenta arreglar sus ojos
No más de sus excusas
Tiene que ser hoy
Puede mantener su fantasía
Si puede escapar
Pinta su nombre en una calle sin salida
Mejillas pintadas con calor de ira
Orgullo herido en ojos pintados
Pinta la noche con gritos de batalla
Todo hinchado de vanidad
Vemos lo que queremos ver
Para los bellos y los sabios
El espejo siempre miente
El espejo siempre miente
Chico ante el espejo
Revisa su camuflaje
Pule su armadura
Y el cargador en el garaje
No más excusas baratas
Tiene que ser esta noche
Puede tomar a la princesa
Si puede aceptar la pelea
Golpea los tambores con ritmo marcial
Golpea las calles con pies que marchan
Orgullo herido, ojos distorsionados
Pinta la noche con gritos de batalla
Todo hinchado de vanidad
Vemos lo que queremos ver
Para los poderosos y los sabios
El espejo siempre miente
El espejo siempre miente
Chicos y chicas juntos
Confunden la vanidad con el orgullo
La ambición con la ilusión
Los sueños con el autoengaño
Chicas y chicos juntos
Ven lo que nos falta
Chicos y chicas juntos
Pintemos el espejo de negro
Píntalo de negro
Todo hinchado de vanidad
Vemos lo que queremos ver
Para los bellos y los sabios
El espejo siempre miente
El espejo siempre miente
El espejo siempre miente
Chicos y chicas juntos
Pinta el espejo de negro
(El espejo siempre miente)
Chicas y chicos juntos
Pinta el espejo de negro
(El espejo siempre miente)
Chicos y chicas juntos
Pinta el espejo de negro
(El espejo siempre miente)
Chicas y chicos juntos
Pinta el espejo de negro
(El espejo siempre miente)
